The 1878 Lounge at Goodison

[john jako]

Any ideas of what it’s like in here?

Just came runner up in the sport pesa competition for a free season ticket and been given two spaces in the lounge.

Any experiences of it?

They’ve all been refurbished over the summer, so I would expect a good standard regardless of which specific lounge you go in.

I was in there between 2004-2010 with my ex father-in-law who had a table in there. Amazing times, how I got to know Waggy really well amongst others. Davey Hickson would share a glass of red with us after most games. Lovely food and free bar from 2 hours before KO until 2 hours after. Cheese and crackers/snacks at half time.

It was great back then but not sure what it is like now.

It was smart casual mate. I used to wear smart jeans and a shirt or jumper. No trackies or sportswear etc.

It’s amazing to see how ‘others’ watch the game, conpared to bag of chips we usually have. Really good experience can’t fault the staff at all, they see your glass almost empty and they are prompt to fill it back up.

Also after the game man of match cones to talk and if you sit in the right place you can grab them for a photo (although staff actully block you going up to them) lots of player movement aswel after the game, i think its like a way to get to them boxes by the tunnel that players go see their famillys.

My advice is to do it for one of the ‘lesser’ games and get bladdered
